It's as though you took the words right out of my mouth, iSm...
I went to see it with a friend who said it best:

2.5 Hours of filler, poor dialogue, 30 minute plot derivatives, some good action sequences, and open endings..
You do this with T.V.... not movies.

Maybe it's because I loved the first so much. Upon further and further consideration it was so artfully crafted, you could get the many wonderful layers without feeling bashed over the head with it. This movie just tried too hard. Watching it required effort. Sure, I saw the midnight showing, and yes, I was tired... But I ended up dozing for about 10 minutes, brought my head up, turned to my friend and asked him "This looks like it's unimportant, am I right?" to which he responded "Yes, I have no idea what the f*ck this is about..." I turned my head and dozed for at least another 5, and woke up once it got interesting.
I have a fun little contest: Who will be the first person to guess which part I snoozed through... Any takers? Any guesses?
I felt like I was asking myself repeatedly whether the movie was going to end at all, and imagine my surprise (and ultimate dismay) when it didn't end at all. (Even though I do love Geoffrey Rush...)
